While I was reminiscing on minichat tonight, I decided to recover some old links that have almost been lost to time. This story has seen plenty of revisions and criticism over the years, and some of them still exist. First, here is a
link to Edition 3 ofDark Energy Trilogy
In particular, Reunionand Inheritancewere both written with a coauthor, with whom I have lost contact. Thus, his characters and influence vanished in the current Edition 4. However, I still credit him with making Ryoko and Nagi sistersReunion, after I chose to have Nagi be a hybrid of Juraian and Ryoan blood.Also, here is a
link to a MSTing ofTenchi Muyo! versus Men in BlackReunionwas first being written. MSTing, much like the original MST3Kor its successor RiffTrax, had new authors insert commentary and parody dialogue between the story’s existing dialogue. Judging from the story itself, namely the opening’s use of Nerti over Mecha-Nerti, the MSTer used Edition 1, a very early example of my writing. I was 17-18 at the time. Now, some 15 years later, I find it a bit painful to read, but I see where I improved, particularly from the criticisms given by the MSTer. I give kudos to the MSTer in helping me improve. ^^vWhile I have not completed a manga comparison table, a discussion in mini-chat a week ago spawned this little image. ^.^v 
http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p661/evilpii/Manipulations/ryo-ohki_zps4a795a1f.png " /> Debate was had about exactly what happened with Ryo-Ohki’s ship configuration throughout the OVA continuity. I did not include the other continuities as this image was made explicitly to address the following issue.
Series 1 has the well-known design, which appears in almost every medium of
Tenchi, for two episodes. Then, after Kagato appears, Ryo-Ohki grabs onto Ryu-Oh’s core unit and produces a new form in Episode 5. From the climax of the episode, Ryo-Ohki is heavily damaged, as seen in Episode 6. This new form is called “New Ryo-Ohki” in the following piece of production art for Series 1, which I acquired years ago.

Shunga. Years pass, and Ryo-Ohki reappears in GXP episode 15, sporting a CG version of her configuration from the end of OVA Series 1. o.o; This form is used throughout OVA 3 and in her brief appearance in SKT/WoG.
So, exactly what happened to Ryo-Ohki in Series 2? Did she just decide to use her old battleship form for kicks? Was this a lapse in continuity by the artists?
… Oh, and here are some other goodies from my personal vault of production images. ^^v
